As for EMV compliance, two more to add if people can confirm other locations:
Justice - MX915s - contactless disabled. PIN enabled and seems to be quick chip enabled. Very strange transaction flow. PIN then "remove card" then "amount okay?" then "authorizing". Extremely unsettling and confusing and if they can get this working why not do contactless!
Rue21 - MX915s - contactless enabled. No AID information on the receipt BUT my MBNA Amex worked which usually declines at MSD mode merchants. Odd...
I think someone else mentioned Rue21. It might be a good idea to hold off until they finish closing most of their stores though.
